Again, invaluable insight. Thank you!

Thanks all for the feedback. Being new to the whole kegging thing, I'm just trying to wrap my head around the science of temperature and pressure. Just for arguments sake, let's say I have a keg at room temperature and set the psi to achieve 2.5 volumes at that particular temperature, and let it...

This is invaluable, thanks!

Hi all, So I'll be receiving my first FermZilla next week, and will be trying my hand at fermenting under pressure. I got the pressure kit for it, and also a Spundit valve. Just thought I'd outline my planned process here, and would love for you all to weigh in and punch holes in my logic...

Thanks for elaborating - very helpful!

Could've sworn I read that you usually reduce pressure before serving. I may have been high, though. Thanks for the response!

Hey there, I'm planning on kegging for the first time, after having bottled my first few brews. Since I don't have enough room in my fridge for the fermenting bucket, I'm planning on transferring the beer from the fermenter at room temp, pressurising the keg (a 9L keg), and placing the keg in...

Aha! So bottling without priming sugars? Interesting, indeed! I ferment in a bucket with a spigot, so never open the lid to take tests. But like you say, sounds like that needs a good knowledge of the recipe and its likely FG. Also high risk of bottle bombs if getting it wrong, right? Brewing -...

By "FFT is your friend" you mean bottle as soon as possible after fermentations is done? Because this is something I've been paying a lot more attention to lately. Rather than waiting two weeks just because that seem to be a "general rule of thumb", I now take samples and follow the process way...

Hey guys, Just an update. I want to thank each and everyone of you for your insight and feedback. Seeing as I'm nuts about NEIPA, and not ready to go the keg route yet, I decided to throw every bit of advice into my next batch just to see if I could get any sort of result. Obviously, if I'd...

Just found this as I'm googling the subject. I'm curious, how much CO2 is needed to purge a 12oz bottle? And then the head space? Just a couple seconds, or? I've been battling oxidation issues and just got a small CO2 bottle and a regulator, so it's going to be my first try. Any input...

Guys, I'm having some serious oxidation problems. I'm fairly new to brewing, and the first five batches I made were all 1 gallon, and I found the whole racking and bottling process quite problematic and sloppy. Also, anything you do for the first few times, you're not going to be very good at...

Yes, the beer looks beautiful. I guess I'll wait an extra day before taking the next sample, just to be sure. What's another day... :)

Hi guys, Thanks for all your feedback, it's much appreciated. Quick follow up; 10 days have gone by and the activity seems to have stopped. I took a gravity reading just now, and it was down to 1.012 (from an OG of 1.063). If I take another reading tomorrow and it's the same, can I be pretty...

I like your thinking. Never even considered floss, but must be so much easier to work with than fishing line. Good thing I always use the unflavored kind!

Hi all, As I've moved up from a 1 gallon carboy to a 15 liter bucket for fermentation, I thought I'd dry hop by putting the hop pellets in a bag, along with a few marbles to weigh it down, and then suspend it with a thin wire so it doesn't sink down into all the muck at the bottom. I found this...

That's 04/17/2019, obviously!

Yeah, since all my previous batches have been 1 gallon, and I've pitched the same amount of yeast as this 10 liter batch, I'm used to activity way earlier. So this time it took 45+ hours, but it's really lively at the moment! :ban: This was a vial of liquid yeast (The Yeast Bay Vermont Ale)...

La Musicalite - Última noche en la tierra, because the Spanish really know how to rock their pop music.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I feel a lot better now. In fact, just before going to bed last night, I took another peek and noticed that little layer on top was three times as thick as just a few hours earlier. And this morning, it had really taken off! :rock: I think this puppy just took its...
